Our Story
The Tennessee Baptist Mission Board has operated camps and conference centers since 1948. Today, over 10,000 adults, youth, and children visit these sites each year. Since 2010, over 1,100 decisions for Christ have been recorded at the Tennessee Baptist Conference Centers. There are obviously many more decisions made and lives changed forever that are not recorded.
